Joe Queenan: white men can't fight

[Matra1]

Joe Queenan has to be the most overrated writer of his generation. Last month he once again repeated his claim that the appeal of Rocky is racism:

"The Rocky films merely sublimate the racist fantasies of fantastic racists: 'Wouldn't it be great to live in a parallel universe where white fighters can actually fight?'

Actually Joe, you are the one living in a parallel universe as white boxers have dominated the sport for years.Edited by: Matra1

You can find a brief bio of Quennan in wikipedia. He used to write for the neocon magazine, The American Spectator, mainly book reviews. He considers himself an expert on Popular Culture.

Unfortunately, there is no forum or feedback option for his retarded article. Almost all the champs from heavyweight to middleweight are white and this buffoon thinks that not only can black fighters actually hang with white fighters, but that they actually beat them.

What an uninformed oaf.

This joker is a no-talent hack. Whites dominate boxing and (the real combat sport) MMA.

No matter how much he claims to hate his generation( "Balsamic Dreams" his anti-Boomer screed book ), he is nothing less than a Textbook self-loathing White Baby Boomer Liberal, who feels soooooooo horrible about what Whitey has "done" to blacks, therefore, the traitor has always,automatically,rooted for blacks and other non-Whites, out of knee-jerk self-righteousness.

He says that growing up,he and his family were one of the last White families living in the North Philly ghettos.If that were true,you would think that would have educated him about the TRULY UGLY reality of the pathological savagery,and detsructive nature, of them, and hate them.But no, he got brainwashed to the rim with White Guilt propaganda,to totally feel for them and love them unconditionally, while hating his own race.COWARD.Edited by: Weltner

The man is never challenged and like most libs writes in an emotive undisciplined style that conforms to what feels good and sounds good to a small clique. I give it a guess that the man would crack up after about 6 questions from one of the principles of this web site as to Queenan's views on race. It would be like discussing logic with a woman since most women do not care for logic. He is not so much.

People (and I use the word lightly) like this guy are nothing more than glorifed "keyboard commandos" with a minimal and limited audience. The only thing that separates him from some idiotic, caste-blinded, 16 year old tool who posts on youtube, is that HE has actually someone publishing his material (which, makes it even more sad).
